What are some things you enjoy in a companion mod?

Maybe the follower asking where you went after returning from a DLC, and remaking about somiething from the dlc, like saying you smell funny after retuning from dead money, and wondering if that is indeed gold you have. Remarks on locations are always fun, and I have yet to see a companion outside of skyrims Inigo mod or Niner from FNV that made even an attempt to have quest based dialogue.

 

If you truly want to truly stand out though, Having a follower that commented on other popular mods that the player installed would make you the king of companion mods.

 

And magic companion ammo. I don't care that it brakes role playing, I am sick of giving niner a Light machine gun with 9000 5.56 mm serplus rounds, only for him to start beating people with a bat because he ran out, and wont tell me. or just wont use the gun.

1. This was sorely missed in the vanilla game. I'm planning on doing this, if not just integrating him into the DLC outright. Now, locational and quest remarks? That's already in the works. Niner is probably one of my biggest inspirations, and my favorite companion mod.

 

2. Mod integration. That's pretty awesome, and I was looking into that. The only problem is that would lead to a metric ton of compadility patches being made. I did have an idea for a companion with similar abilities to The Forecaster who would tell you about your other companions and warn you about quests and locations and stuff. I did write some lines for Willow and Niner for him.

 

3. Niner DOES use magic companion ammo. The thing is that it only works on his default weapon, same as every other companion, vanilla included.

if it's a ghoul companion and he's going to be a bit of a smart ass maybe have him make comments about starting to glow and asking if your skins starting to peel of and things like that when you are in irradiated area's kind of like he's joking that your turning into a ghoul.

 

oh and for the idea above with him having a girlfriend. maybe make part of his quests to go to his home and get his girlfriend and something nasty is happening and you need to save her kind of thing. after that she moves to his home. have a companion perk that is granted after completing that which is different depending on if you save her or not kind of like the vanilla companions questlines

Actually, yeah. He is a ghoul. And as for Jet's awesome idea of him having a girlfriend, it fits really well with his personal quest. He's basically the mayor of a town, and one of his quests involves going back and fighting off a gang who've invaded it. That seems to fit really well with that idea.
